Today my novel, The Beggar’s Queen, was released. Check it out at www.thewildrosepress.com!
The Beggar’s Queen not your typical romance novel. For one thing, it’s longer, and there’s a whole lot more to it than the romance. For another, there’s no sex. I don’t write the formula, because I don’t think the formula reflects what true love really is. To me, sex is trivialized and cheapened when it is laid out on display. So instead, I focus on how Hero and Heroine (Phillip and Cecily, in TBQ) come to grow to love each other over the course of time. I believe that’s more realistic, and as such, a richer and more complex story.
Of course, The Beggar’s Queen is a medieval fantasy, so who am I to be talking about reality? :)
